GONE TO BRAZIL.
James Hunter, of Philadelphia,
Gone to a Better Cline.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24.-The liabil.
tiles of the firm of James and John Hun.
ter, so far as discovered, amount to
$4,000. All the compromising paper
OF the firm bears the name ofJames Long,
President of the Union Trust Company
Long says he does not know how much
paper his name has been forged to. but
the forged paper has been estimated as
high as the three.fourths of the entire
amount of ascertained liabilities. In ad.
dition to the amount men ioned there ia
supposed to be large amount of paper
still afoat, which bears only the firm
name, The rumor that James Hunter
took the steamer for Brazil yester day
gained ground this morning, as nothing
has been heard from him siuce Tuesday,
when he left the city, ostensibly for New
York.
President Rammell, of the Mechanics
National Bank, says his bank has notes
from James and John Hunter, bearing
James Longs name to the aggregate OF
$50, 900, but Long has not yet beer able
TO decide which bore the true or which
the forged signatures. AL he could tell
was that he had memoranda in his bill
book of all the Hunter paper he has
on Long secured by mortgage Of
Sl0O, 1000. Il don't know whether
James Hunter can or net, but l am
pretty sure he will commit suicide.
don't think he has the moral courage to
come back and face the music. The
heory is that when certain notes mo
tured James Hunter first resorted to the
desperate scheme of forging James
Longs signature. This he kept up
it is supposed, for years. A
guess at the assets ant
liabilities is made as follows: Asseti
Wynnewood farm 5000, 600. Conestogl
mills 500, 600. Norristown mills $50, 600
John Hunters residence $25, 600, jane
Hunters residence 5000. Total 1888,
600, Liabilities: Notes upon which sui

of the Merchants bank $40, 600; pape
taken up out of the keystone Nationa
Bank, $4,000; two mortgages o,
Wynnewood farm, $l4O, 600; mortgag
on Conestoga mills, 800, 600; mortgag

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March "a "A

Sherman said he accepted the invitation,

might be able to dlssipate these preju.

guardians of distinct and separate rights

spheres, but, like planets moving in the
